Church’s Chicken

In 1952, George W. Church, Sr. opened the first Church’s Fried Chicken To Go in San Antonio, Texas. The concept was simple: chicken, served up fast. In 1955, Church augmented his one-item menu with jalapeños and fries. The fast fried chicken and simple sides were a hit. Church’s grew, and has continued to do so, with the franchise now boasting over 1,700 locations in the United States, Canada, and abroad.
